Exciting developments planned for XK Edinburgh centre!

The track and karts have been chosen for their performance, handling and “grin” factor!
XK Edinburgh will be closed for approximately 1 month, however you can now book both race experience sessions or an X Race event on the new track through our online booking portal (available from 4/11):
- 4 x 10 min Race Experience Sessions (ages 14+) : https://xtremekarting.co.uk/karting/go-karting-in-edinburgh-and-falkirk/xk-edinburgh-karting-options/xk-edinburgh-race-experience-sessions/
- Race events (ages 16+) : https://xtremekarting.co.uk/karting/go-karting-in-edinburgh-and-falkirk/xk-edinburgh-karting-options/xk-edinburgh-race-events/
Please note that when we reopen the Edinburgh centre will only feature Senior Karts, and will therefore be strictly age 12 and over (ages 12+ sessions will be added to our online booking early October).
Our Escape Rooms in the Edinburgh centre, and karting at our Falkirk centre will be available throughout the period the Edinburgh centre is closed, and are able to book events, race experience sessions etc online at Falkirk on our website (XK Falkirk will continue to have karting experiences for ages 8+)

Booking Refund Guarantee!
by XtremeKarting.We are proud to offer our no quibble “Booking Guarantee” for all bookings made with Xtreme Karting!
All prebooked sessions can be rescheduled or refunded up to 24 hours in advance of the booking, after this point sessions can still be rescheduled as long as we have a minimum of 6 hours notice before the session time.
Please note that some exclusive events may have a minimum number required for exclusive use of the track, we would not be able to reduce numbers below this requirement although alternative formats may be available – please contact us to discuss options.
Please note we adhere strictly to this policy, regardless of the circumstances.
Race Experience Sessions – Hygiene Pack Charge
by XtremeKarting.Hygiene Pack (Race Experience Sessions only)
Since reopening after COVID we have issued a hygiene pack to customers for free despite previously charging for these.
With ever increasing costs this is unfortunately not sustainable, and it also prevents repeat customers from reusing the balaclavas and gloves (much better for the environment!).
Therefore, from the Monday 8th May 2023 all customers booking race experience sessions will need to either purchase a new hygiene pack for use in these sessions or reuse balaclavas/gloves previously supplied – please note the wearing of hygiene packs is mandatory.
Hygiene packs are available to pre-purchase online at the discounted price of £3.00pp when booking (or for £4.00 in centre).
Queen Elizabeth II
by XtremeKarting.All of us at Xtreme Karting– and indeed across the country and beyond – feel a real and deep sense of loss and sadness at the passing of Her Majesty The Queen.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family.
On Monday 19th September, staff and customers at Xtreme Karting will be asked to observe the 2 minute silence across the nation at the appropriate time.
Xtreme Karting will open on the 19th September for our normal opening hours of Midday to 10pm, we respect the decision of customers to “pay their respects” in whatever way they feel best appropriate to them.
Xtreme Karting Larbert Access – Roadworks/Road closure on A9
by XtremeKarting.Please note there are roadworks fully closing the road on the A9 between the bus depot and Larbert cross, effectively meaning only access to Xtreme Karting in Larbert will be from the Falkirk wheel side on the A883 (signposts for Xtreme Karting from A883 at the end of Lochlands Loan)
Please plan appropriately to ensure you are on time if racing at Larbert!
COVID19 – Latest Update 18/4/22
by XtremeKarting.UPDATED 18/4/22 – Following Updates – there are no changes to our operations or booking processes, and we continue to review our Risk Assessment requirements to meet any changes.
Our Edinburgh and Falkirk centres are open! Focused, as ever, on delivering a fun, thrilling experience in a COVID-19 secure environment.
To ensure that we can manage customer bookings and expectations effectively, the following policies will be in place until end September 2022 (when a further review will take place). This ensures no matter what way levels change, we can offer exactly what we advertised/promised, unless of course there is a lockdown in which case sessions would all be refunded as per the previous lockdown.
Please note all sessions MUST be prebooked to allow us to manage visitor numbers and comply with our COVID19 risk assessment, we cannot accommodate walk in customers/spectators. Our online booking system is available, and you can book slots safe in the knowledge we will continue to offer our COVID 19 Booking Guarantee!
Please note that we are only accepting card payments in the centre for miscellaneous purchases eg bottles of juice etc
Our no quibble COVID19 Booking Guarantee: Given the uncertainty surrounding bookings with the impact of COVID 19, we are happy to confirm that all prebooked sessions can be rescheduled or refunded up to 24 hours in advance of the booking, after this point sessions can still be rescheduled up to 4 hours before the session time. Please note we adhere strictly to this policy.
Ventilation: Our indoor centres are extremely well ventilated, and we have CO2 monitors in the reception area targeting a level of <500ppm (background levels approx 400ppm, HSE guidelines state that indoor areas less than 800ppm are well ventilated). Please ensure you dress appropriately, as the reception areas are therefore unheated and we are in Scotland!
Helmet / Suit Sanitising: We would also like to update everyone on how we are sanitising helmets / race suits, as this has remained a frequent question from visitors. Prior to reopening both centres invested in new state of the art OZOCAB sanitising cabinets, these allow both helmets and race suits to be sanitised with a constantly monitored dose of Ozone (proven to eradicate the COVID19 virus). We have also invested in over 300 new helmets, allowing each customer to be allocated a sanitised helmet and race suit on arrival, that is only used by that customer for the duration of the visit, and then returned when leaving allowing the equipment to be sanitised again.
Every customer is also issued with a “Hygiene Pack” free of charge, this includes a balaclava (can be used as a face covering in centre) and gloves – the cost of the Hygiene Pack is included in the session price!
Food/Party Rooms: Please note that we are currently not offering food or Party Rooms at present, and do not allow any food to be brought into the centre (including birthday cake etc).
Face coverings: The wearing of Face Coverings is recommened (you can use your karting balaclava to cover mouth / nose) when in the karting centre and also the outdoor combat arena (NB This includes children ages 6+) unless medically exempt, this is for the safety of both customers and staff, your help in adhering to this policy would be appreciated.
Social Distancing: Groups outwith family bubbles will be asked to socially distance. Given the nature of the activity individuals are obviously socially distanced when racing.
Temperature Checks: All customers and staff are temperature checked on arrival to help identify any potential risks
Cleaning / Staff Testing: Our cleaning procedures have been enhanced, hand sanitising is available throughout, and we are supporting staff testing using RAT tests at the start of shifts.
